This was the first exercise that really made tonguing click with me. I just picked up a cheap second hand Chinese tenor and started playing. I played for a good few weeks without even knowing that tonguing was a thing, and slurring every note has been a really hard habit to break. Playing along to this is the first time that tonguing felt more intuitive than slurring. Thanks for the help!

I picked up a Tenor Sax back in 5th grade and into 6th. I even played in the marching band for one our towns parades. Now 10 years later I no longer own a sax but still remember everything I learned. I wanted to "rekindle" my originally love for this amazing woodwind so I was watching a few beginner vids to clean off the rust when i found you. I'm not even kidding, the solo at the end just made me smile soo much from pure joy of listening to this amazing instrument. I hope to one day become a music instructor or teacher to inspire and guide other people who also have a love for music. Really enjoyed the video and keep on keeping on man. 🎷

I'm a multi-instrumentalist strongly considering sax as an instrument that may potentially become my main, currently trying to assess the learning curve. I'm drawn to it originally from jazz, but my interest has been massively spurred by a recently-found passion for ska. I love funk as well. Once i get a saxophone I'll definitely be geared towards these rhythmic, blues-based styles. It looks like the pentatonic scales are pretty easy to play, the only big unknown variable for me is the nuances of getting the mouth and tongue stuff right. I'm at least confident that my knowledge of theory and general musical experience will make the learning curve reasonably approachable 😊

I’ve always loved jazz music ever since I watched this show called Little Bill when I was a child. It just sounded so interesting to me. As an adult, I started listening to Masego. He’s who really got me into wanting to learn the saxophone. In 2020, there was the big lockdown, so decided to go ahead and purchase my saxophone. I learned a few lessons, but then I fell off because I started back working so I’m pretty much rusty and need to start over. I’d love to learn the saxophone inside and out so that I can play at events and gigs and whatever else lol. Sax is awesome!

I started playing a alto sax but now I’m on tenor. I started to play because I needed something to make me feel better and the alto sax did just that. I stepped away from band for two years due to a sports injury and then tried again this year. I wanted to start off on a alto saxophone ago but I just couldn’t connect to it like I used to. Today (March 23,2021) my band director and I made the decision to try me on a tenor saxophone. I was heartbroken at first but once I started to play the tenor I started to feel better. I wanna get good at the tenor so I can hopefully go back to the alto and be as good as I used to be.

I want to learn to play some cool sax blues licks as well to incorporate in my band ( eventually). My main first goal is to eventually get proficient enough to play baker street, which is one of the songs I’m very inspired by , and see where I go from there.

I purchased my alto saxophone for my 21st birthday. Played alot for a while then post grad university, kids, work and life in general got in the way of my playing. Then my daughter took up clarinet at school. I jammed with her a few years ago for the first time and really enjoyed it. She has gone on to be quite accomplished. As my workload got heavier I stopped jamming which made my daughter very sad. During lockdown I decided to start playing sax with my daughter again. I have one HUGE problem though. I play by ear. I have never been able to read music and have poor comprehension for the letter of each note. My daughter has tried to teach me but I just don't understand. I want to learn sax again to jam properly with my daughter but I feel I'm holding her back as she's so far ahead with her clarinet practice. We did learn Over the rainbow for the clapping for carers on Thursdays, to which at the end I blended into the song See you again from Fast & Furious movie. The song that got me into playing Sax was Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty and Lily was Here, by David A Stewart and Candy Dulfer. I'm currently enjoying the work of Jimmy Sax, in particular his song Una Mattina, which is my secondary reason to practice and learn to play this tune. I am 43 years old... Am I to old to learn properly? PS I still play with a 1½ Reed, is this right??

I'm returning to Sax and really liked this, what I would love would be a transcript of your improvisation. Then almost play against myself. When I had lessons years back we did this exercise but as a beginner I ended up with a limited range of my own improvisation. I always wanted some Impro. examples to try and then adapt them to my versions mainly at the beginning of my sax journey. I also like ear training but in parallel. I'll be staying tuned and hope to join the school in a short while. Warm regards.

Also I’m here cause I’ve been really into John Coltrane and Coleman Hawkins lately. Played alto in middle school for 2 years then quit due to changing schools. Got my old saxophone back from my moms house yesterday. So basically here for jazz lol.

Ever since I herd the (Pop) song Harden My Heart by Quarterflash I've always wanted to learn to play the Saxophone. I just bought a Selmer Alto Sax yesterday. Brand spanking new. I was renting a Student model Yamaha for two months, but was nervous playing it as I was worried I'd somehow be on the hook if it got damaged. I wasn't going to comment. But you asked what type of music do you want to play. So I guess my answer that came to my mind instantly was pop. Thanks for your help on this journey I'm trying to go on...

I love this format, I love beginner material not specifically made for kids! To answer your question, I started playing after falling completely in love with swing dancing, and especially being so impressed by the sax players in the swing jazz bands... It would be so cool if I could be even a fraction of that one day!

For me, the style used in Baker Street and very much the saxophone music in the tracks by The Midnight are a major influence on why I’ve just started picking up a saxophone. Not the usual influences, I suspect, and I’m such a newbie that I couldn’t even tell you the genre of the playing style haha! Your videos are fantastic and I’m thoroughly enjoying learning the way you teach!
